9. The data structure of Access Control Lists are organized like most databases: with tables. Not coincidentally, the table, in addition to being the basic medium of economics, is one of the primary media by which states wield power.

Knuth's idea has been adopted in a somewhat reduced and less sophisticated manner in actual programming paradigms like JAVA with tools such as Javadoc, which rearranges the commentary of the code as the explanation of how to use it.
